Thanks, but my physician mumbles it so fast that I cannot make out if it is "hold and call" or "hold, on call."

Is there something like "hold and call" for any test like an x-ray or CAT scan, that needs to be done urgently on a patient before the patient leaves the office?

Outpatient hold admission versus inpatient
Subject: Outpatient hold admission versus inpatient
Please read this with a little grain of salt, since I don't have enough info to be sure in this case, but this has happened to me before. Most hospitals and most insurance companies have a "24 hour hold bed" policy of some sort. The patient is considered an outpatient, (and charged the lesser "hold bed" charge) even though admitted to the hospital, for the first 24 hours, or 23 hours and 59 minutes. Maybe this doc is saying that the EKG was done at that time in the admission - hour #23, minute #____. Again, use caution, and if this is the case, the doctor sure SHOULD have said "at 23 hours X minutes after" admission or clarified it somehow. But this is just food for thought, since I have had docs dictate using the number of hours since the patient was admitted, though I'm happy to say they the docs always made it known that that's the way they were counting down the hold bed time.

Subject: PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm
This is what I did when something like this comes up. I know they want you to use the slightest amount possible, and usually never prescribe more than a small tube at a time. This is a very huge amount. I find pharmacists usually are very helpful if you don't ask them more than a few times a year. I would rather do this than say "a pound," just picture it in your head - that's a lot.

....an "acute abdomen series." It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).

I thought I saw my post come up four times, but now I don't see it at all, so I'll ask one more time. Hopefully this works and I haven't been too annoying!
Okay, so the patient has bilateral otitis externa "and is having a lot of swelling in the [s/l "D man"] and in the nasal mucosa. I injected it with Depo-Medrol and Marcaine and put him on Flonase."
I feel like I should be catching this but I'm stumped! Any ideas?
Confused.
I was transcribing last night on a woman and the doc said quite clearly, twice, that she was post vasectomy. Okay, I figured that maybe this female once was a male. However, by the end of the report I knew that this was not the case. Anyway, I left a QA marker as I figured what the doc said was incorrect and I did not want to be the one to type that information down. I checked on the report today and QA had put in vasectomy, just as I thought he said.
Okay, so my question is: can women get vasectomies?? I thought it was impossible, but after yesterday my confidence is shaken. Women don't have the vas for the ectomy. If I am correct, then why would QA leave something so erroneus in a report? If it were me I would have left it blank.
Please, someone correct me if I am totally wrong.
